In the coming year, USAID Visit Tunisia will work to develop and renovate key tourist sites in underserved regions, attracting more visitors to these less-trafficked areas and bringing much-needed revenue and jobs to their communities.

As part of this effort, USAID Visit Tunisia invited construction firms to complete a pre-qualification process for these projects. Pre-qualified firms will be invited to submit proposals and provide construction services for selected infrastructure projects.

Selected firms will work on small- or medium-scale construction/infrastructure projects in our six priority tourism destinations – Tabarka, Kairouan, Nefta-Tozeur, Douz, Tataouine, and Matmata/Gabes. Projects may include improving or developing tourist paths and signage, ticket kiosks, visitor centers, or areas for local vendors to sell goods.

Tunisia’s underserved, interior regions have many high-potential tourism sites and attractions, including age-old archeological relics, historical and cultural museums, and protected national parks. Improving these sites’ facilities, access, and resources will enhance visitors’ experience, draw new tourists, and drive more business for local artisans and businesses.

USAID Visit Tunisia is currently only considering potential infrastructure projects owned by municipalities.

Construction firms interested in supporting this activity must submit a prequalification response by email to procurement@visittunisiaproject.org. See more details on requirements and the prequalification process here.
